Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

FEELINGS FOR HIM

Mariam’s P.O.V.

“Raise your hand”, I raise my hand in the air while looking at Demitry suspiciously. My breath hitched when he took a small box out of his pant pocket. My heart was racing a marathon inside my ribcage right now. I followed the movements of his fingers only while keeping my hand in the air. He opened the box and I felt that the time had stopped at this very moment. How desperate was I for this moment? I had so many plans for this special day in my life. I remembered everything that I discussed with Warrick about our wedding day. What did I want to wear? What kind of flowers did I want to use for the decoration of the whole area where I wanted to hold our wedding ceremony? There were so many dreams in my eyes.

“Did you like this?” I came out of my trance when I heard Demitry’s worried tone. “Huh?” I asked him dumbfounded. He frowned but asked again, “If you didn’t like this ring then I can buy another one for you”, he said and I immediately shook my head in a nod. “No… I was just overwhelmed. It really beautiful”, I said and smiled with teary eyes. It was my biggest problem. I couldn’t control my emotions and I felt that tears were always at the corner, about to fall down anytime. I felt stupid. “You know it’s just a façade, Mariam. But we have to give a good presence”, he said while looking straight into my eyes.

He had a beautiful pair of dark crystal blue eyes with silver streaks. They were truly mesmerizing and I always found myself drowned in them. “I know”, I managed to utter only those two words. There was a couple of platinum bands inside the box. “They have our names carved on the opposite rings”, he said while giving me one of them and then took my hand in his hand. I looked inside and smiled when I found my name carved inside beautifully. So, my ring had his name carved inside and my name on his ring. It was really lovely thought. I wish Warrick had the same thought for us but he had to ruin everything for us. I didn’t know why I was still thinking about him.

Demitry placed the ring on my ring finger and then raised his hand in front of me. I smiled and then put the ring on his finger. I was surprised to see that the ring was exact of my size. I was going to discharge from the hospital. It was my last night in the hospital here. “will you stay with me tonight?” I asked him hopefully. For the last fifteen days, he was very busy with company stuff and rarely came to visit me. “Mariam”, he was about to refuse when I raised my hand and wave my fingers in front of him. “I am now your wife, Mr Davenport and you also obligated towards me”, I said while wriggling my brows. He narrowed his eyes on me and I could see a playful smirk on his handsome.

He sat down behind me and pulled me in his embrace. I giggled but rested my back on his chest. “Do you know what are the obligations of a wife to her husband, Mrs Davenport?” he asked me and I went crimson red. “How can you be so shameless”, I elbowed, in his chest playfully and hid my face inside my hands. He laughed and put his chin on my shoulder. His hot breaths were now fanning my neck right now. “So you are all shy, huh?” he teased me and I whined without removing my hands from my face. He laughed then pulled my hands off from my face. I lowered my face down while biting my lower lips furiously.

“Do you really want me to stay with you?” he asked me after a while. I immediately nodded and craned my neck towards him behind me. I had always seen him with a cold face while dealing with others, but he was always warm towards me. Our eyes meet again. I felt that he could see through my soul and I had nothing to hide from him. He was a mystery to me. Other than knowing that he was a successful businessman, I know nothing about him. I never asked him because I knew that he would tell me on his own whenever he would feel comfortable.

“Don’t you think that I will do something with you if I stay with you at the same bed?” he asked in a seductive tone this time and I felt so many butterflies flickering in my stomach right now. “I know you well, Mr Davenport… you are only a cuddling baby in the bed”, I teased him and he suddenly craned his neck at my chin to look at me clearly. “What? Only a cuddling baby?” he asked me in disbelief and I immediately nodded while giving him an innocent look. “You just wait… then I will tell you what I can do in bed under the sheets other than cuddling”, he threatened me and then started kissing behind my ear.

I laughed and tried to free myself from his grip but he gripped harder on me. I was sad and hurt a while ago and now I was laughing as if nothing bad had happened in my life. Demitry always made me forget about my problems and the betrayal that I got from my fiancée and my best friend. I talked with the manager and my mother three times in the last fifteen days and I came to know that Warrick had tried to get a hold of all my property and bank accounts.

I had closed my eyes and giggled lightly when he was kissing all over my neck and then back of the neck. His lifts were too soft and the kisses could be considered as feather kisses right now. He was only gently touching my skin as if it would bruise he would put a pressure there. After a while, he stopped and then hid his face inside my neck. I could his breathing went ragged. I pushed myself more inside him and he held me tight in his embrace. We were in this agreement only for three years. After that this agreement would dissolve and we both would be free from this façade. But it didn’t mean that we couldn’t enjoy our time together. What I had experienced in my life was that no one could predict the next second. We were not in love and this relationship was only to help each other still I wanted to live these three years with him in his embrace.

I knew that I would not love anyone else now after what Warrick had done to me. I knew that Demitry would not be able to love me after what he witnessed in his life. We two were completely broken and shattered souls. We were together for some reason and I didn’t see any reason why couldn’t we enjoy our time together. At least I would have some good memories to hold on to after we departed. “I haven’t kissed my bride yet”, I heard him murmuring something that made me come out of my stance. “Huh?” I uttered in confusion and now moved my body towards him. I was now facing him. “I said that I haven’t kissed my bride yet”, he said while looking in between my eyes and my lips. I felt my heart skip two beats in a row.

I saw a hesitation in his eyes that confused me again. We had kissed each other before, then why he was now hesitated right now. “So who stopped you?” I asked him in a low tone while looking straight into his eyes. I wanted him to see sincerity and love in my eyes for him. I didn’t know why I had this feeling but I felt that he was still processing that I was not disgusted by the scars on his face. I took his hand in mine and put that at the side of my face while looking straight into his eyes. I never thought that I could be so bold that I would initiate a kiss with someone else other than my fiancée or my husband. This man had no relationship with me yet I wanted him to kiss me right now.

“Mariam”, he whispered but I immediately put my finger on his lips making him stop whatever he was going to say. I didn’t want him to ruin this moment between us. “Don’t think too much, Demitry. We have nothing to loose in this battle”, I said while looking between his lips and his eyes now. “You really don’t scare of my scars, huh?” he again asked me the same question that he had asked me a few days ago. I smiled and stroked that big scar on his face gently. “I don’t know how you got this but I am sure that there is a story behind this”, I whispered while caressing that scar gently. Our eyes were still locked. “I don’t know what made you think that you can scare me but… you never scared me and I know that I will not be scared by you any time in my life”, I said while blinking lazily.

He leaned towards me and I closed my eyes while cupping his face. I whimpered when I felt his soft lips on mine. He had cupped my face gently while playing with my lips gently. I smiled when he broke the kiss quickly. He pulled me in his embrace and hid his face in the crook of my neck. I put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. “Stay with me, please”, I whispered to him and he tightened his grip on my waist.
